UNSPSC 31381110: Cast machined anisotropic samarium cobalt magnet

Cast anisotropic samarium magnet that has been machined

UNSPSC 31381110 Cast machined anisotropic samarium cobalt magnet, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity in the dataset — Texas A&M University System ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0547, posted October 12, 2026 with bids due October 28, 2026 — solicits stainless steel diaphragm plates, a product outside the magnet category. The mismatch suggests either misclassification by the issuing body or that the code captures a narrow slice of acquisition across state and local jurisdictions that does not reflect routine buying patterns in this commodity family.

The Texas A&M opportunity represents the only recent posting found under this code. All bidding occurs through the AggieBid procurement portal; prospective vendors must register electronically and submit bids through that system, with addenda and updates posted within AggieBid rather than on the ESBD. Questions should be directed to Sterling Crowdus at soprocurement@tamus.edu or submitted through the Q&A function in AggieBid, and vendor registration or technical support inquiries go to vendorhelp@tamu.edu. The solicitation provides no information on quantities, pricing, contract duration, anticipated award date, site visits, pre-bid conferences, set-asides, preferences, incumbent contractors, or budget. Given the thin recent activity and the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited, this code warrants close monitoring for signal but does not currently show a reliable pipeline for vendors in the cast magnet space.
